Western Section neighbors have watched with eager anticipation as this gracious 1848Colonial was restored over the course of two years. With a prominent spot along themost admired stretch of Library Place, everyone can appreciate the enhanced exterior,now clad in DURATION poly-ash siding with new roof, windows, and mahogany porches, but fewhave seen how the interior’s best original features were revived and complemented bycountless improvements. Sun-splashed rooms extending from the grand center hallmade this project worth the effort and expense. New wide-plank oak floors join tallpocket doors in the living room and family room, both sized to host any occasion,celebratory or intimate. While numerous French doors encourage gatherings to spilloutdoors, the dining room goes even further to highlight the pretty setting. It iscompletely wrapped in glass for unencumbered views of the partially shaded yard andbluestone-edged pool. With a preferred semi-open layout, the kitchen, too, peeks out atthe poolscape. Glass-front cabinetry, chef-approved appliances and new quartzcountertops are a combination that will serve beautifully for years to come. A customoutfitted laundry room and a powder room with a dash of glam hint at the level of finishfor four new bathrooms upstairs. Follow the cupola-lit three story staircase to a selectionof nine rooms, some of them full suites with walk-in closets, which allow the privateupper levels to function as you see fit. A corner room with a fireplace makes an idealoffice or sitting room beside the main suite, which boasts a slipper tub, rain shower anddetailed tilework within its marble bath. A bonus room on the newly air conditioned topfloor may be the site of fun-filled sleepovers now, then down the road, a quiet artist’sstudio. As it has done for the past 175 years, this house will continue to evolvegracefully.
